File archiving

Later this weekend a file archiving mod I created is being added to this forum. What it does is move any file that has been downloaded say 500 or 1000 times (haven't decided yet) into the members only area. The file is then no longer accessible in the forum area at all. This is to prevent too much bandwidth being used. As an example the "Holly Valance Kiss Kiss live at the festivebar" video is around 50meg and has been downloaded over 1800 times, do the math.
This mod should have no impact on regular visitors. If you come back at least once a fortnight you shouldn't miss any of the files that are being posted here before they are archived.
90% of the files here haven't been downloaded more than 500 times as of yet so only a few videos will be affected straight away.
If anyone has any suggestions or has a problem with this please let us know.
Cheers

Since implementing the archiving mod a few people have asked that we repost some of the archived files. I'm sorry to say but this can't be done. All the forum files plus hundreds more that are not posted here can be found in the members area section, simple. Remember it's those members support which keeps this area free for us all by helping to pay for the server fees and massive bandwidth that is being used.

Picture forums will not be archived, videos only.

Due to an increase in forum activity, files will now be archived after 2000 downloads instead of 1000.
Please note: Any files that have been archived before the date of this post will remain archived.

So does that mean that we will not be able to download any videos EVER!! after they have been downloaded??

did you even read what he said properly? if you want to download all the files, support the site

I assume that the posters that make the effort of posting videos get some kind of incentive/reward to do so if it ends up being archived and put into the paid members only portion of the site ?

Regular contributors have been known to get certain privileges.

Will there be any other method of payment other than using credit card ?

Dont have one, want to support, but am stuck.

Australia has the least options and there is not much we can do about that. Overseas users can use phone billing, online check, SMS etc. Debit cards are a good alternative to credit. Other than that it is up to Verotel to include more options for billing.

Btw, archiving is set 1000 once again due to the forums quietening down after BB finished. I might put it back up for the next one though.

BB7 is next week right?

Auditions start next week.

Archiving is set at 2000 for the duration of BB7.

Is that for all files or just for the BB07 files

All current non-archived files have a 2000 download limit.

Why can't we use paypal instead of CC (i don't have one either) and would love to contribute to keeping the site alive.

I can then echeque you.

Greg

Websites with adult content cannot accept Paypal unfortunately. http://www.prepaidshop.com.au is something new and well worth a look at though.

Archiving is now set at 2000 downloads.

Cam someone tell us if that site is on the level and worthwhile?

there's been a heap of ads on tv for these cards lately. prepaid visa cards they're calling them. debit visas to the rest of us. designed for u18s. probably more like you have to set aside credit instead of linking it to your main savings account

thank you

yup

sounds good

Does that mean previously archived files are unarchived until 2000?
